Quincy Tree Inventory

After completing the Illinois Extension Mastering Tree Health and Identification course, a group of Master Naturalists put their new knowledge to work by conducting a 200-acre street tree inventory for downtown Quincy. In the fall of 2024, these passionate volunteers dedicated nearly 200 hours to training, cataloging tree species, assessing tree health, and identifying potential maintenance or removal needs, which helped reduce city expenses. Their work provided data that will inform the city's tree care plans and future plantings, ensuring a thriving urban forest for generations to come.
